Z -- REPAIR AND COATING OF THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF EXISTING CONCRETE BELOW GROUND FUEL STORAGE TANKS 85, 86, 87 AND 88 ON THE FISC AT POINT LOMA, CA SOL DACA87-98-R-0003 DUE 102397 POC Contract Specialist, Kathy Wallace, 205-895-1166 (Site Code DACA87) The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville has a requirement to repair and coat the interior surfaces (excluding the roofs) of the existing concrete belowground fuel storage tanks 85, 86, 87, and 88 located on the FISC at Point Loma, CA. Each of the existing 4 tanks are concrete, belowground tanks used to store jet fuel (JP-5). Each tank is approximately 50 years old and is buried approximately 4 feet belowground. The tanks nominal dimensions are 88 feet in diameter by 13 feet high. The nominal capacity of each tank is 590,000 gallons. The tanks are equipped with a fixed concrete roof employing a 32 vertical concrete column support system (15 inch diameter columns). Currently, each of the 4 tanks have been cleaned and their interior coating material has been removed. As a result of the previous interior coating removal work, the tank walls, columns, and floors were substantially pitted and spalled. The existing ring joint and cove within each tank is damaged and must be removed and replaced. The Contractor shall remove all existing cove and corner chamfering, thoroughly clean the interior surfaces free of dirt and contaminates, abrasively blast the interior surfaces, restore the interior surfaces to a smooth level condition using a epoxy-resin or a polymer modified mortar system, design and install the replacement of the ring joint coves in each tank, perform a second brush blast to the interior surfaces, and then apply the Morton FNEC-2515 coating system to the interior surfaces. The Morton coating system was permitted for application in tanks 85, 86, 87, and 88 on 15 April 1997 by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Contractor shall be a manufacturer's certified applicator for the both the mortar repair materials and the Morton coating system. The Contractor shall be responsible for meeting all applicable federal, state, and local regulatory requirements. The Contractor shall attend a mandatory site visit to verify the details of the work. Evaluation Factors are price, technical factors (including but not limited to schedule, equipment and material quality, life cycle cost, the offeror's understanding of the work, construction approach, and warranty) and past performance. Technical factors and past performance when combined are significantly more important than cost. Offerors who are interested in submitting a proposal for this project should notify Kathy Wallace by facsimile 205-895-1197. The solicitation should be issued on or about 23 October 1997. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by this agency. The Standard Industrial Code applicable to this acquisition is 8744 with a business size standard of 500 employees. Contractor must furnish business size with written request (i.e., small business, large business). (0283)
